Would Israel have the guts to end this conflict in the next war?

I have learned to AGREE! You stated it beautifully. And if you asked me, prior to this Gaza war....I would have denied it...wore a cross of David on my NECK to piss of Hezbollah ppl! I would have done everything! Still since, 1990s! After us Lebanese lost, in many ways, and were even hit in being labeled ARABS by the world.


You are from the Middle East. You know the answer! Not until there are going to be fundamental changes in the Arab world would anything change. Israel cannot remove Hizbullah or impose Democracy; not even the Americans can do that. It's up to the people - like you.

No, I'm not Orthodox, but everyone knows I'm Jewish... it's a small college.
I had some friends from lebanon and jordan and everything was fine until the gaza war... they saw my perspective on the situation through facebook and now they won't even look at me.

Are there lots of other Jews?

Do you really care? I mean what kind of friends are these, where you can't even disagree and you can't even support your own people? Did you get mad at them that they supported Hamas?

Nope, there really aren't.

I know I shouldn't care but I do feel awkward, no one wants to have this kind of tension. I have never spoken against their beliefs, etc. towards them in particular. But inside, I did feel a realization that perhaps I shouldn't be friends with them. Thanks for caring!!

Hey, I lived in a small town most of my life that was 99.9% Christian, 17,000 souls, one Catholic Church, one Presbyterian, at least two Methodist churches,a Bible Presbyterian Church headed by noneother than the now deceased virulent racist, Carl MacIntire at the the helm, (had his radio station on a boat off the coast of Atlantic City that was so badly hateful that the FCC took away his license), one Baptist, assorted other Christian denominations, an old folks home that was Methodist. My brother's best friend was a Methodist, my best friend was Baptist/Jewish mix..LOL..and I wasn't exactly the toast of the town but I made it through it all, and am stronger for the experience.

P.S. No blacks in town, not a one, no other minorities back then, either, de facto segregation town.

That's what you can expect in the "deep South" (of New Jersey?)!

If they are supporting Hamas, who call to kill all Jews, then you don't need them. Unfortunately, sometimes there is just no common ground I have lots of Muslim friends and they definitely do not talk or think this way. They understand exactly who and what Hamas, and groups like them, are.

You got it, cha..cha..cha...the Deep South of South Jersey circa the 60's, 70's and early 80's. They didn't become part of the "Union" until Mayor Armitage, the longest consecutive serving Mayor in the USA departed from the poltical scene and the townspeople elected more "progressive" politicians and in any event, the town became segregated and is now an enclave for gay individuals......Paybacks are a bitch....

It's a Lebanese thing. I have seen people wearing a bottle of Mogen David!

Yala...did you hit my facebook? This song irritates our family from Lebanon to Australia, because i post it to remind them! This is my husband's and mine song! I've got a singer, to sing this song for his b-day coming up. I got a big laugh on opening this.

Here is a kicker...... one song that he just loves, is "I survive".....get it?


LOVED IT!

Here is one for you, that I play at our restaurant everyday.
